Joe Rogan has once again highlighted the issues that face the NFL after he criticized the organization for allegedly trying to hide CTE and concussion data on athletes in the sport.

Rogan is well versed in CTE and its effects, having been involved with the fight game for a number of years. The UFC color commentator has also often discussed the NFL and concussions on his podcast. He's once again highlighted the issues that the NFL faces for hiding information in regards to athletes suffering with CTE.

During a recent episode of JRE, Joe Rogan read a passage which stated that the NFL has faced multiple lawsuits from former and current players for hiding information regarding head and brain injuries:

"Various players have filed lawsuits against the league for the concussions, accusing the league of hiding information that linked head trauma to permanent brain damage, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. Some teams chose not to draft certain players in the NFL Draft due to their past concussion history."

In his own words, Rogan added that he knows the NFL has been hiding information to protect themselves from lawsuits. He ultimately believes enough information will soon come out that they cannot hide anymore:

"The more the information comes out, it kinda of traps them. What are you going to do? You're going to have to admit that all those players have issues...I wonder when did they know, when did they first find out about it? [A link between football and CTE]."

Joe Rogan reacts to Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg Twitter feud

On episode #1920 of The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE), Rogan and guest Dave Portnoy discussed Andrew Tate's arrest, as well as his online argument with Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.

Tate and Thunberg clashed after the controversial internet personality tweeted an image of him filling up a gas-hungry supercar at her, also listing off other vehicles he owns. Thunberg, who is a big activist on climate change, responded with her own jab at the 36-year-old:

Rogan reacted to the pair's exchange on Twitter, which was cut short when 'Cobra' was arrested by Romanian police:

"He's making fun of Greta Thunberg and then he gets f**king arrested right afterwards. It's kind of hilarious. The way it happened - like people said, it's the biggest self-owned 'L'... It's kind of funny when she said that's what happens when you don't recycle your pizza boxes. That s**t's hilarious. You gotta give it to her. Also, why are you going after some 19-year-old autistic girl that's really into like climate change?"
